The time for the ven ture is not far distant, and the busy hammering and filing that can be heard in the workshop near Savannah tells that every preparation Is being made. It is Captain Matthew' A. Batson, a retired army officer, who will make this challenge to destiny. He has been working for years toward this end, and has perfected a unique type of flying machine that is popularly known as the Batson hydro-aero- plane. So certain are Captain Batson and his friends that the daring venture wi'l be successful that a concern has been organized, known as the Bat son Aero Company, incorporated un der the laws of New Jersey, with a capita! stock of $300,000, “to operate between Savannah, Ga., and Liver pool England, a line of passenger- carrying air craft,” according to the words of the charter. Captain Batson is president of the company. The line will not be es tablished for little more than a year, but tiier* will be trial flights a-plenty before that time, as the plans state, at Thunderbolt, Brickyard Island, on tin Wilmington River, where the plant is located.

Georgia. ih*- whole Southeast, and Atlanta—because it is the com mi i ll and financial center of the Southeast—will enter upon j one of the most prosperous eras any section of the nation ever ha.- j enjoyed when the. cotton crop is moving in earnest this fall—by October 1 at the latest. In 1911, all seasons put their heads together in kindly con spiracy, and Georgia grew 2,768,627 bales of cottton, the greatest crop the historic State ever knew, it is the fashion to quote 1911 as the most wonderful year the State could expect. Unmistakable signs show 1913 will overtop 1911. Here is the proof: In 1911 Georgia grew, or let us say gathered—for it grev thousands of bales which never were ginned or even picked— 2,76H,627 bales of cotton. But the whole South grew 15,622,701 hales, excluding linters. Prices were correspondingly low. Georgia got about $124,500,000 for its 1911 crop. Almost ready for the gins to-day are 2,250,000 bales, indica tions are that this crop will bring Georgia $155,500,000, for 14- eent middling cotton is a probability, not a possibility. Of this $155,000,000 a much greater proportion will be profit than accrued from the banner crop. Four reasons are apparent: This is a yield produced at less cost than any previous crop; drouth in the West will make the total yield short of the world's actual needs, particularly as the left-over supply Is abnormally small- Georgia will spend less for corn, hay and oats than ever before having record-breaking crops of all three food stuffs; the shortage of corn, hay and oats will mean good prices for that most impor taut by-product of cottton, cotton seed. SHORT CORN CROP INEVITABLE. < -onsider the last first, because it has beeu overlooked gen erally. Drouth in Kansas and the other great agricultural States of the West and Southwest makes a short crop of corn inevitable. Corn is selling at an abnormally high price—around 77 cents at Chicago and St. Louis for the actual stuff. Seventy-seven cent corn means high beef and pork. It’s prev ty expensive to fatten hogs or cattle for market on that sort of diet High pork spells high lard. High lard means greater de rnand for cotton seed oil products, so much so that the cotton seed oil speculator watches the lard market, as closely as he does the oil quotations. Expensive feed, too, means a shortage of cattle for slaughter and a shortage of blood and bone fertilizer, the packers by-product, which is just where cotton seed meal fertilizers may reap a harvest. Expensive corn, again, insures greater demand lor cotton seed hulls as cattle feed. No one wants to go on record as saying that cotton seed will sell at a record price. But it is evident it will not be a drug on the market. Already cotton seed is selling for $20 a ton and bet ter in South Georgia. Crushers say Georgia will send 900,000 tons of seed to oil mills this fall. At $20 a ton that is $180,000,000. Add that to $155,000,000 for the lint—-it makes one dizzy! Back to the first reason for Georgia’s enormous prospective profits. Everyone recognizes that economy has been the watch word for the year. The farmer has bought as little as possible at the store. He has borrowed as little money as possible. He has cut down his supply of fertilizer. The old harness, the old wagon, the same old mule, the same overalls, have served another season Small expense and good selling price make excellent profits. LITTLE COTTON IN WEST. Texas and Oklahoma, experts say, will produce not more than. 4,000,000 bales this year, as against 5,278,500 in 1911. Alabama Hi i triu flights in the direction of nn( j Mississippi show severe deterioration through the combined Wilmington Island. The tests of the malevolence of bad weather and insects. Louisiana never has been a factor in the cotton world since the boll weevil invaded the Cre ole State. The Southeast will make, in proportion, the best crop of all the belt. All this would be of little avail if the Georgia farmer had to spend all the money he got for corn hay and oats to feed hip < \
